NBA DraftKings & FanDuel DFS Primer: Monday (12/19)

It’s been a wild weekend of sports. We had NFL and NBA on Saturday and Sunday, which makes things chaotic from a DFS perspective. It led to one of my best days of the season on Sunday, though, riding a Washington-Los Angeles stack to one of my better lineups of the year. Capitalizing on the right games is crucial in this racket, and we have a few sensational spots here. With that in mind, let’s look at some of those!

Core Plays

Damian Lillard (PG – POR): $10,700 DraftKings, $10,000 FanDuel
Dame should be in the MVP running, carrying Portland to one of the best records in the NBA when he’s in the lineup. The perennial All-Star has scored at least 40 DraftKings points in 14 of 18 games this season, averaging 49 DK points per game in those outings. That’s no surprise since he’s playing 35-40 minutes a night while posting a usage rate north of 30 percent. OKC certainly won’t slow him down, ranked 28th in defensive efficiency.
